Answer
During a child’s growth, a strong appetite is a normal phenomenon. However, excessive weight may lead to obesity, which is harmful to a child’s health. Parents can participate in sports activities with their children to cultivate their interest in exercise. In terms of diet, it is advisable to keep it light and encourage the child to consume more fresh vegetables and fruits while avoiding high-calorie foods such as fried foods and desserts.
